About PCNC

Pacific Coast Nickel Corp is a Canadian based nickel and copper base metal exploration company actively exploring properties in Canada, Argentina and Uruguay. Included in the Company's property portfolio is the Burwash property located adjacent to the Wellgreen Mine (a former nickel and copper producer) near Burwash, Yukon Territory, Canada. PCNC in December optioned the Las Aguilas Nickel-PGM project in Argentina, which contains an historic, non 43-101 compliant resource of 2.2mt of 0.52% Ni, 0.50% Cu,  1.16 g/t PGM. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources and PCNC is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources but as a historical estimate that should not be relied upon. PCNC has also established a wholly owned subsidiary in Uruguay which has identified and acquired a number of prospective nickel-copper exploration targets.
